scanning software

[TAXMAN]

Hello all

Not a tax question.

I have a xerox documate 162 scanner and am wondering what scanning software you may be using. I find all kinds. I basically need something that the software will read and save as a PDF format. Need some work capacity on documate. Mostly to get rid of a lot of paper files that I have. Thanks to all.

I had been using a Kodak i1120 that scanned straight to OCR-able pdf, which I then tweaked as needed with Acrobat 9 with the "Tic, Tie, and Calculate add-on for accountants). That got fried in a power surge (despite being on a strip) and it's just been replaced with a Fuji ScanSnap1500 - again, goes straight to OCR-able pdf. It came with all kinds of file management software but all I do is pick between pdf (for files) and jpeg (for online check deposits). I use Adobe Acrobat X (that came with the Fuji) and will need to buy a new TTC license or transfer the old one.

Not sure how much help this is but it's what I do.

What should have come with it:

Software Included

NewSoft Presto! BizCard,

ScanSoft OmniPage Pro,

Drivers & utilities,

Visioneer OneTouch 4.0 with Kofax VRS Technology,

Nuance PaperPort

Nuance PaperPort is supposed to be an excellent product

The other products are also rated pretty good. If I were you, I'd practice using what came with it, before buying anything else.The scanner itself is not so highly rated, but you have it, so give it a fair shot.

It should work best with the software that came with it.
